Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a DPI value?
Pixels and physical units only relate through a density. The same 1200 x 1800 pixel photo is 4 x 6 inches at 300 DPI and 12 x 18 inches at 100 DPI, so the tool always asks for the DPI before converting.
What DPI should I use?
300 DPI is the normal print assumption, 72 or 96 DPI are historical screen values, and large format banners are often printed at 100 to 150 DPI because they are read from a distance.
